Yes because 6+4+2 is divisible by three.
The simple way to decide if any number is entirely divisible by three is to first discard any digit in the number that is divisible by three (3, 6, 9) then add any of the digits remaining together and if at any point you get something that is divisible by three you can disregard those digits. If at the end you have a remainder, the number is not evenly divisible by three. If there is no remainder the entire number is divisible by three.
In your example 642, I threw away the 6 leaving 4 and 2 , added those = 6 which is divisible by three (actually I remembered that 42 was divisible by 6 so I knew right after I had taken away the first 6 that your number was divisible by 3.

Is 642 a prime number?

Just by looking at it, without trying any factors to see if they work, you can see-- 642 is even, i.e. divisible by 2, since it ends in '2'-- 642 is divisible by 3, since its digits add up to (6+4+2) = 12 which is divisible by 3.Just looking at 642, you already know of at least 2 factors that it has besides '1' and itself,so it can't be a prime number.
